sometimes fate caught up to you cruelly. like a knife to the heart, it would often find you when you least expected it to. maggie knew this - she had lived it for a hundred or so years and might live it for a thousand more. still, it never ceased to surprise her how much it could hurt and take her breath away. so when she lifted her head and inhaled the air outside of the club, it wasn't the perpetual hunger that she felt at the scent of blood that greeted her; it was the scent of home. it punched deep into her chest, made her ache, and she pressed the palm of her hand to her breastbone, caught off guard with recognition so profound that it nearly had her dropping to the ground in the dingy alleyway. "eleanor..." whispered softly, she knew before she turned around what - or rather who - she would find at the lip of alley. the human that she'd been feeding off of, whose name she couldn't remember, mumbled something incoherent then and her eyes flickered over his face, studying him. he meant nothing but still a profound awareness hit her; she couldn't kill him. she wouldn't kill him - it was the same awareness that begged still for her humanity. the same awareness that had spared hundreds of human lives in the past. "shh," she tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear and maneuvered him into a more comfortable position for his neck, which was still sluggishly bleeding from the wounds she'd caused. "you'll be fine." she was aware of the eyes on her, but didn't feel the same need to hide this part of herself from someone who enjoyed her own vampirism so much as eleanor. letting him slide down the wall gently, she took her time tending to him, and only when she was finished, only when she had regained her composure, she looked up to find the woman's silhouette in the darkness.
